IRIB - Hamburger SV Defender Mehdi Mahdavikia, who suffered a painful knee injury during his team's 2-0 win at Schalke 04 over the weekend, is due to play against Borussia Moenchen Gladbach, the Hamburger Morgenpost newspaper reported in its Tuesday edition.

A bruised knee forced HSV Headcoach Thomas Doll to substitute Mahdavikia in the 71st minute of the match with Schalke 04.

The Iranian international has turned into a superb defensive player this season for Hamburg, playing a crucial role in his squad's strong showing.

HSV is currently ranked second in the Bundesliga with 59 points out of 28 games.
